Downpipe for ETD's manifold

[bruinbear714]

In anticipation of this manifold, I will be rigging up a fixture to see how everything bolts up with the stock manifold and catalytic converter.

The general consensus is to use a T3/T04E 50 trim , 0.63 A/R turbo for this manifold, which will be the one I'm going to use for my application. I'll probably be getting it here with the coating and 360 thrust bearing upgrade.

Using that turbo and ETD's manifold, I was wondering if anyone in the so cal area knows a reputable welder that can weld a downpipe if I provided everything needed... the 3" downpipe would include the wastegate dump pipe, 2 o2 bungs, an egr bung, and maybe an egt bung. There will also be a flex section somewhere along the downpipe, and a 2.5" to 3" converter section right at the turbine housing.

And once a solid prototype is done, if anyone would be interested in getting in on this? Of course, I'm not going to be profiting anything from this - you'll pay the same amount I did + S/H if you're not local.

Or if anyone already has a downpipe in the works for the turbo mentioned above, I would love for you hook me up with one.

This is going into an S14, by the way.

lol bruinbear, your car is like the exact replica of mine in S14 form... same fuel managment, same turbo, manifold (;)), flywheel, filter, cams, clutch, speakers... hahaha this is a little bit weird....

Im probably just gonna get my own downpipe locally, but this is still a good idea!

Well I figured if I'm going to take the time to rig up a fixture to make my downpipe, why not just get a few extra made..

and my car almost has the same setup, except i'll be running stock internals with the 7psi wg spring for now. The most it'll see is going to be around 12psi

wdracing proposed making a downpipe for the manifold. maybe we can talk him into making a bunch. id definitely be interested in getting one made, maybe without the egr bung. i think im gonna take that out with the jwt ecu...
